Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Swarovski Edition is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp, and Honorine Blanc. Black Opium Swarovski Edition opens with Orange Blossom, Pink Pepper, and Pear, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Coffee, Licorice, and Almond, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Cedar, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium Swarovski Edition carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a crowd-pleaser, no doubt. If you like your vanilla sweet, gourmand, and with a kick of coffee, Black Opium is probably already on your dresser. It's not groundbreaking but it's reliably good.

Its sweet and warm gourmand profile makes it perfect for date nights and casual outings, offering a seductive yet comforting aura. While it has some versatility, its richness and potential for strong sillage mean it's less suited for office or active wear where subtlety is key.

About

Black Opium bursts forth with a juicy pear and bright orange blossom opening, quickly making way for a heart of rich, dark coffee and creamy almond, softened by a whisper of jasmine. The dry down is a warm, enveloping cloud of vanilla and cashmeran, grounded by earthy patchouli and a touch of cedar. Think cosy nights and sweet indulgence.
